<p>I can't quite tell what's up with <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-async-foundations/issues/85">wg-async-foundations#85</a> -- there's been some amount of conversation, but I think it is roughly "as the author wants" it at this point -- <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="389608">@Johnathan Van Why</span> did you have any further work you planned to do?</p>

<p>There's a lot of interesting info in the comments, and I think maybe it'd be nice to move that stuff to FAQs, if you were up for that</p>

<p>(They could even just link to the PR, in the limit)</p>

<p>I'll look through the PR comments and see if it makes sense to move anything into the FAQ.</p>

<p>I found a few things that <em>might</em> make sense in the FAQ:</p>
<ol>
<li>A clarification on nice-to-have versus deal-breaker. <code>Future</code> has a lot of nice-to-haves but 1 deal-breaker.</li>
<li>@rylev asked if the code size tradeoffs are fundamental to <code>Future</code>, and I <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-async-foundations/pull/85#discussion_r600880445">answered</a> in the comments, but not in the doc.</li>
<li>I described how using the term "zero cost" to describes future may be misleading (<a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-async-foundations/pull/85#discussion_r600884204">https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-async-foundations/pull/85#discussion_r600884204</a>)</li>
<li>I could elaborate on Tock's unique userspace thread-safety situation (namely, that there is only 1 thread, and no signals/interrupts)</li>
</ol>

<p>I think those would be great additions, yes</p>

<p>Okay, I guess I'll add them all :-). I'll try to get that done today but it may be tricky.</p>
